Manufacturers description
The original and often imitated 120mm class powder pintail that started it all. The Lotus 120’s shaping is highly optimized for deep snow; a 270mm tapered and rockered shovel gives the Lotus 120 early planing ability; the flex pattern and geometry have been refined over four seasons to create a ski with unequaled balance and ball-of-the-foot-driven powder performance.

Strengths:
+ The weight! Even though I have mounted them with Axial 200, they are still ill-light.
+ Complete! When people are told they are 120mm in the waist, they say, "Well, what waterskiing?" But I can squat with these, feeling a bit like super-G skis.
+ Turns a 5'a! Incredibly easy to get around to be 200cm and 120mm below foot
+ Stabila! AAAH, I tried to put on the load hat and force the skis to become unstable, but it did not get a centimeter. Amazingly beautiful to land with.
Weaknesses:
- The price? No I do not think so. Certainly, it's an upper price range, but it's really worth it.
- Topsheet? Well, you have started to wear it, despite less than 7 days. But you can not escape in French lift queues;)
Summary:
What a damn wonderful ski. A little too big for Swedish mountains, but mostly excellent for the Alps. I will drive this as the only ski all winter, to check what it's like to go with, go fishing and maybe park with. Have not even dipped these in pillows yet, but will do it soon!
Update:
Now I've had these for a while and got more pillows with them. Unbelievably how a 200cm ski can feel so smooth in woods and tight bouts. I'll keep this as a powder shovel for a while, just wide enough to be able to cope with a steep pist, but flowing well anyway in deeper snow!
Want something unique? Something out of the ordinary? DPS!
